Answers:
It only takes about a week, of more than a couple of drinks a night, for the lliver to be backed up with fat!. But with 7 units a day, it takes years of drinking to actually damage your liver!.

Another (faster) way of damaging the liver, like you do with years of drinking, is a serious overdose of over-the-counter painkillers like paracetamol!. The pills won't kill you, but you will die of organ failure after 3 - 4 days of severe pain!.

If you drink less than 14 units of alcohol a week, and never more than 5 units on one occation, you'll be absoluteliy fine!

Keep up the exercise, and good luck getting healthier!! :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

As a girl, and as girls have, in general smaller bodies, then alcohol tends to act on you much faster!.
Regarding the diet and exercise regime, I would consult your doctor or dietitian to make sure that the regime you are on is the best for you!.
They will also be able to answer any concerns about the effects the alcohol have on your body!.

have gone to your doctor & had a liver fuction test!. because i am 34 years old & my liver is abnormal!. i started about 18!. i just drank beer!. i now have to stop drinking or i will get cirrhoses of the liver!. i don't have it yet!. GO TO THE DOCTOR & HAVE IT CHECK!. erikWww@FoodAQ@Com

If you're genuinely worried, go see your GP and ask for a liver function test!. I'd bet that you're fine though - plenty of people drink more often than you did, drink more in one session and have done for decades!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I have been drinking for 35 years and I had a liver check and my liver is healthy, although this isn`t recomended everyone is differentWww@FoodAQ@Com
